Movie propaganda
A thoroughly modern woman in a thoroughly modern crisis.
Adapted from Elinor Lipman's novel of the same name, Helen Hunt makes her feature directing début with Then she found me, a touching story of schoolteacher April Epner (Helen Hunt) and her very unlikely path towards personal fulfilment. Following the separation from her husband (Matthew Broderick) and the death of her adopted mother, April is contacted by her apparent birth mother (Bette Midler), who turns out to be a local talk show host Bernice Graves. As Bernice tries to become the mother to April that she was never able to be, April seems to find solace in the arms of the parent of one of her students (Colin Firth), only to find that the mystery to life's questions cannot be solved by a simple revelation.

Theatrical report
Then she found me is a drama with some relationships and a touch of humour from damaged people. It's a bit of a bookend with Smart people in that respect.
Many of you will find this film to be a bit contrived in that more people are born, die, married, divorced, meet-up-with, break-up-with and get-back-together-with than an entire season of Neighbours (or, as Dizey once referred to the Births, Deaths and Marriages section of the newspaper, "Hatchings, matchings and despatchings"); I know that I did.
Bette Midler does a good turn as the sharp-tongued, camp mother (think For the boys) but everyone else is a bit bland. Even Colin Firth wasn't quite on the mark, despite being the sexiest bloke in the film.
The drama, romance movie Then she found me is directed by Helen Hunt and stars Helen Hunt, Colin Firth, Bette Midler.
